Hide AdThe Saints, who claimed a superb 1-0 win at Chorley on the opening weekend of the season, had been due to take on Darlington at St James Park on Saturday.
However, it was confirmed last night (Monday) that, due to a number of Darlington players contracting Covid-19, the National League has postponed the fixture. No new date has been set.
A statement on Darlington's website said: "The league has confirmed today (Monday) that because of our Covid issues, our away game at Brackley this Saturday has been postponed.

It means Kevin Wilkin's team won't get an immediate chance to build on their success at Chorley last Saturday as the three points were secured thanks to a late goal from summer signing Twariq Yusuf.
Brackley's next scheduled game is on Saturday, August 28 when they head to York City.
